Driving Force: Building Consensus
For the standards developed by Energistics to be effective and adopted, they must meet the needs of a majority of organizations (operators, service companies, software vendors, regulatory and educational groups) in the industry.
As such, in all its activities, Energistics strives to:
- Build work teams that are representative of all key roles in the industry
- Engage in processes that allow industry members to review and comment on work products
- Recognize, document and incorporate feedback
- Build consensus views
